Who Can Apply for a Grant?

Grant requests are to be made only by those not-for-profit corporations or organizations exempt from federal income tax under Section 501(C)3, which meet the requirements of THE LORD’S FOUNDATION, INC.’s mission and by-laws. Grants cannot be given to individuals to assist them with their educational needs or pay personal bills. THE LORD’S FOUNDATION, INC. disburses gifts annually to many different organizations. At least 70% of its funds must go to eight legacy organizations. No more than 10% can be given to non-Christian agencies. Because Mr. Towers was interested in a large number of ministries and only limited funds were available, most recipients other than the legacies are awarded no more than $1,000 or $2,000. THE LORD’S FOUNDATION, INC. exists solely to further Christ's work as described in the New Testament. Organizations that can apply must have as their primary purpose the provision of programs and services that meet Christ's teachings in:
1. Matthew 25:35-36:
Feeding the hungry (“I was hungry and you gave me something to eat”); for example, Salvation Army, City and Trinity Rescue Missions, and Sulzbacher Center; Providing clean water (“I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink”); for example, well-drilling projects and other clean water outreaches; Giving shelter (“I was a stranger and you invited me in”); for example, orphanages and abuse shelters; Clothing the needy (“I needed clothes and you clothed me”); for example, DESC and other clothes closet organizations; Healing the sick (“I was sick and you looked after me”); for example, hospitals, drug rehab programs, and medical missions such as Mercy Ships and MAP; and Serving prisoners (“I was in prison and you came to visit me”); for example, Prisoners of Christ, Prison Fellowship, and Kairos.
2. Matthew 28:19-20:
Evangelizing, teaching scripture, supporting foreign missions, etc. (“Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you"); for example, Jesus Film Project, East-West Ministries, International Cooperating Ministries, David Jeremiah, and Cru.
All grant requests need to be submitted by July 15. A hard copy needs to be mailed to our office for consideration. After review, a proposal for disbursing that year's funds is made to the Board of Directors in September. The proposal is then discussed and voted on by the entire Board in October. Checks are sent out in November or December.
